First star: Helenius or THE MOOSE???Helenius with the perfect shot to win it in OT!
Hang the banner!!Best preseason in Sabres history?
You know some are going to say " yeah but can he do that against NHLers?"Man, Ostlund's hands are magic. Biggest takeaway of the preseason is his upside being higher than expected. I keep imagining him with really good players around him...
No snark, just encouraging for the org. Young guys gained some great experience.Hang the banner!!
Didn't watch the game, just saw the boxscore. We beat a team with a full-time line up with the guys we had out there?
Ahhh yeah I briefly saw the Detroit lineup & thought it was against us. Thanks for the clarificationWhatever boxscore you're looking at is.....incorrect. Detroit kept their A-team in Detroit to play the Pens.
The Amerks got most of what Grand Rapids is going to be....plus a few ECHLers.
Maybe its a good thing to get the basics from a new coach who actually knows what he is doingMost of the NHL regulars have had three tuneup games since they played the first two in NA and then the exhibition game in Munich. We'll have to see if that makes a difference just having weeks of practice time instead.
Do they have the size and grit this year? Seems to be an issue come playoff time when they have to play the likes of Syracuse and Hershey.Was able to watch but not comment. The Amerks, if they stay healthy, are going to be an issue for the rest of the division.
